Southern California has several great places to photograph birds. All of my photographs were taken at Inyokern, Bishop, Mono Lake, Morongo Valley, Silver Saddle Ranch near California City, the Anza Borrego Desert, and Palm Desert in the Coachella Valley. As well, the Salton Sea has produced many opportunities, especially the Burrowing Owls. I am indeed very grateful to my good friends, Bob Steele and Charles van Tassel, who have both showed me several new species.
